What we are seeing play out now and them basically saying "go ahead, test free agency" is very possibly related to the reaction by him and his agent to that offer. They might have told the team at that point they were going to free agency unless they tagged him. We don't know. A-Rob might have said  "No way I play here if it my choice". We just don't know.

Exactly. We don’t know the full story. What we do know is the team offered him a deal last year and he said no and bet on himself. Well he lost that bet in the worst way possible. Now they have offered him another deal and he still said no. The team has made every attempt to retain him and he has turned them all down believing he is worth more than what his actual output has been. 


We aren’t talking about a guy who put up 90 catches and over 1300 yards and double digit TDs the last 3 seasons (e.g. ODB). He had one year sandwiched between an injury in his rookie year, a down year and an ACL year 

He is most likely wanting to make as much as he can on his terms and I don’t blame him.
